Console glove box light

Anybody know where I could get the switch / bulb holder for the console light on an 87 TA? I was taking the console out and while I was trying to get this light out, it came apart and the little spring shorted between the 2 contacts and burnt the spring in half. (Yeah, I know I shoulda unhooked the battery).
All I really need is another spring, but I can't find one of those either. It's smaller than a ball point pen spring.
Anyone have any suggestions on where to get a spring or a new switch? All the consoles are gone out of local junk yards.
Thanks

If you still come up dry in your search, send me a PM or email. I have one laying around here somewhere from a 91 TA we parted out. I could probably get it to you for shipping plus a couple bucks.

You could also send thirdgenresource.com an email. I know they salvage wrecked 3rd gens.

Good luck finding one,
Matt
